See the instructions for Part I, line 4 for limitations that may apply for certain representatives. A fiduciary (trustee, executor, administrator, receiver, or guardian) stands in the position of a taxpayer and acts as the taxpayer.

Authority Granted This POWER of ATTORNEY authorizes the individual(s) named to perform any and all acts you can perform, such as signing consents extending the time to assess tax, recording the interview, or executing waivers agreeing to a tax adjustment.

Delegating authority or substituting another representative must be specifically stated on line 4.
